For the GTR2: P&G Version a number of skins was reduced from the GTL version (69062, 69260, 73047, 74038, 75031, 75042, 75057 remained). Only skins that could be confirmed as more-or-less authentic were included (+ one Easter Egg). Also a big number of new skins were painted by RamChickedy.
Cars were put in their single Make cups or in the Australian 70s class or in the new Group 1B class.
There are three different Single Make cups available: The Shell Sport Celebrity Trophy, the John Brabham Trophy and the Castrol Mexico Challange. Aditional to the RS2000 and the Mexico, a 1.6L Lotus Twincam option and a 1300 Sport version were included.

The Celebrity Trophy was a promotion Cup, raced with Escort Mexico, registered to Ford AVO. For each car a professional driver was paired with a Celebrity co-driver. Races were rough and the finishing cars usually looked quite battered. Few cars survived and they are now wanted collectors items, while others got sold and were rallyed or raced in Great Britain or abroad.

The Brabham Trophy was a race between Formula 1 Team Bosses, in the context of the non-championship Formula 1 event at Brands Hatch.

The Castrol Challange was tailor made for clubsport men and private owners without huge backing. It was the starting point for several huge names of British Motorracing, such as Tony Dron, Andy Rouse, Gerry Marshall, Barrie Williams, Mike Hibbert, Colin Vanderwell, Gillian Fortescue-Thomas and Allan Wilkinson. Also Jody Scheckter drove the Challange before he got a Formula 1 cockpit.

Unfortunately, other cups like the Dutch and the Belgian Mexico Trophy did not provide enough fotos on the internet to reproduce a complete Cup. A few (Dutch) cars were included in the Group 1B class. Hopefully new picture sources will make it possible to paint more Cups at some point!
